A lovely well maintained cottage on a working croft. Almost silent the vast majority of the time and some good walks from the cottage. The enclosed garden has a standard wire fence so you may want to consider a tether if your dog is nosey as the sheep can be very close at times. Ours didn't know what to make of them.
